My Father Died

I could offer some form of explanation, However out of respect for you, you beliefs and any comfort that the conversation with your daughter will bring to you, I will remain silent.

I don't think anyone can provide an explanation as such. Best thing to do is to just 'run with it.' Personally, I think it's beautiful and reassuring, actually when something like this happens.

Hi there Cynthiann, Yes, actually i did experience something very similar. I was also pregnant with my 3rd daughter when my dad had a sudden fatal heart attack. i had two brothers and was the only girl and we were very,very close. It was a devastating time. I had my 3rd daughter a month later and two months earlier than when she was due. Anyway, I had been home from the hospital just a week or two and it was late at night. I was up nursing my newborn and watching an old I Love Lucy re-run. Out of nowhere, I heard my dad's voice clear as day, say Sid, you have a very beautiful baby. I'm sorry I could not have been there for you. Startled, I even pinched myself to be certain I was awake...I was. He then said that he had to get going but that he missed us all very much. I asked him if I would hear from him again and he told me that he did not think so. And I have not. The next morning my 9 yr old had a lot of trouble getting up for school. I asked her why she was so so tired as she'd gone to bed plenty early enough. She said that grampa had kept her up late last night and then she could not sleep after he left because she missed him so so much. My younger brother also had a similar experience with our grandfather whom we never met. It was pretty weird and he was the only one in the family to experience it except for one incident with my gram. I have lost many loved ones and never again experienced anything like this. If I were to guess, I would say it is has something to do with an emotional connection? I've done tons of reading on the paranormal and worked for a medium years ago and there really is no concrete proof or answers to any of this stuff. If you experience it, you'll be a believer but good luck convincing anyone who has not. There is no way to prove it.

I haven't, but I know so many people who have experienced something "other" that I have to believe there's something out there. Maybe not the Christian idea of heave and hell, or the Jewish, or whatever, but something.

That's pretty odd. My foster brother used to have dreams about like the old west.. back during cowboy and indian days, and he could describe things perfectly.. and described a particular war during that time.. and he was just a little kid at the time, too young to have known about it otherwise. Everyone thought maybe he'd been in that war in a previous life.

Wow! It's like something out of a movie, or a TV show. But my takeaway from this discussion is that it must be such a comforting thought that even from the other side, your old man is still looking out for you and your 'baby/babies'.

Hugs on the passing of your father. My father passed away a few years ago and I miss him. He would tell me I could do it and not to give up. Its hard when people pass away that are important in our lives.

Wow. That is amazing.

Not quite like this by both my daughters have like dreams where they see their grandparents...or visualize them standing in room with them etc. They did know their grandparents so it's not a surprise they know what they look like etc....but sometimes they can feel their presence.

OMG i cant believe this but it seems its true. Mam your story is like the ones in a Hollywood movie. I was moved by the story of your father. But i am quite happy for your daughter as it looks she really loved your father... I think your story its like a movie.

WOW, that is really something for her to be dreaming that. Dreams can be really be strange. I don't usually have very good dreams. I had just as soon not dream some of the things i do.

Dearest Cynthie thats just wonderful and comforting. How I wish I had a similar experience. Like your daughter I also didnt know my maternal Granddad as he was missing and obviously killed in WW II. My mother had been able to save a pic of him and that was on her nightstand so I grew up seeing that pic and having my mom and my grandma tell me awesome stories about Granddad. It was for me as if he is still part of the family. I got to know him quite well with all my mother told me about him and as a kid I would often ask my mother, what would Grandpa say or do in this and this situation. What would he tell me if he could give advice to me now. My mother tried to answer as well as she could, and later when I had moved out of her house into my own rented apartment she put a small passport portrait pic of me in the corner of the frame of my granddads pic. I asked her why she did that and she said, you are the only one of his grandkids who ask about him as my cousins who are three years older than me never were interested in their grandpa. My mother passed away in 2011 and due to conflicts with the extended family I turned down the inheritance and left the place. So I am very sad that I dont even have that pic of Grandpa........ How I wish that he came into my dream talking to me like what your daughter experienced...........

It only explains that the dream of your daughter is true and the soul of your father visited your daughter in her dreams. maybe, he wants to meet your daughter since he have not yet meet her.Our dreams is really powerful because we can be able to see again our loved ones who has just passed away.

Hi Cynthiann Oh I sure understand all about this, before my father passed away I had a dream of my grandmother (my fathers mother) and in my dream I was brushing her hair and it was red and thick and full, when my grandmother was alive she had to wear a wig so I never had seen her like this and I never knew she had red hair I had told my mother, oh and in my dream my grandmother had told me not to fuss so much (with her hair) so when I had told my mother she could not believe it. Two weeks after that dream my father had passed away. My father loved his mother so much he was lost when she passed away 25 years ago. So when my father passed it gave me some comfort to think he was with his mother somehow. I sense you miss your father too I sure miss mine. My mother passed only 10 months after my father they were both young my father was 73 and my mother had just turned 71 it will be 6 years this June for my father my father passed away on Fathers Day that year and my mother will be 5 years next month I still miss them so much. Sorry I got carried away here.

hi cynthiann I have never experienced that but I remember a saying "there are more things on heaven and earth that were ever dreamt of in your philosophy Horatio" and I have begun to think it meant that there's so much we do not know like what your daughter dreamed of. I once was on a trip with my parents through Colorado and we stopped at a small town and instantly I knew there was an excellent restaurant up a certain street and I walked in.Immediately the manager said " You have brought your parents Patsie" I had never met him before yet we did know each other., How I could do this I did not know. It was scary but they were so pleased to serve us and we had an excellent meal. they would both keep bringing us goodies until we had to leave.I never did know just what happened or why I knew this town or the people running the restaurant either.
